php setting makes egroupware sessions fail

[Sean]

Binary package hint: egroupware

On a fresh install of lucid (or an upgrade from 9.10) attempting to log in as a egroupware user, you get an error

'Your session could not be verified.'

In the production default php 5.3 install

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

contains option

request_order = "GP"

This appears to cause the failure.

As hinted at by this post http://www.pubbs.net/200908/egroupware/46199-re-egroupware-developers-how-is-egroupware-prepared-for-php-53.html

Setting

request_order = "GPCS"

makes it work again.

"Setting
request_order = "GPCS""

Solved for me too.

Forgot to say, on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS

You no longer have to do this site-wide:

sudo editor /etc/apache2/conf.d/egroupware

  php_admin_value request_order GPCS

Why isn't this set by default?
